Muffin Mix Donuts and Glaze

Store bought muffin mix, any flavor, made as directed on package. Preheat oven to 350. Fill donut pan 3/4 full. Bake 10 minutes until done. Flip out of pan to serve. Icing can be added if desired.

Icing flavors:

Vanilla/Almond: 

4 c. powdered sugar

1/8 t. salt

2 t. vanilla or almond extract

10-12 T. milk or cream, about 3/4 c.

Combine all ingredients until smooth. Place parchment paper under wire racks to catch any drips from the icing. Coat the donut one at a time by holding near the top and dunking until half submerged in the glaze. Place on wire rack until set. This recipe makes enough to glaze 12-15 donuts. 

Simple Glaze:
